i'd say winter is officially here

  Here is the same view I posted a picture of 2 days ago for Garden Blogger's Bloom Day.  I took it on the way to work so sadly it was dark at the time (but it's also dark when I come home so I really had no choice).

Right now everything looks beautiful covered in ice and snow, so I will be blogging about the beauties of winter and designing for winter interest a lot over the next few months!  Then I will start to go stir crazy and be dying for spring...
